FYI, google has a dashboard that shows all/most/some of the data in your account. Go through it and remember the US government can access it (likely with some form of Warrent or paper required)

From TFA:

> In order for Google to produce any data, the request has to be made in writing, signed by an official of the requesting agency and issued under an appropriate law. Google can also look to narrow the request if it believes it is "overly broad."
